Ange Postecoglou as expected has looked to his wider squad for this evening’s League Cup challenge up in Dingwall. As we revealed this morning Ben Siegrist gets his first start tonight in the Celtic goals with Joe Hart not even in the squad and Scott Bain taking the sub-keeper role on the Celtic bench.
Anthony Ralston starts and he enjoys an evening’s football in Dingwall does he not? There’s also a full debut for Alexandro Bernabei at left-back and the two central defenders are Mortiz Jenz – again another Celtic in Dingwall hero and Stephen Welsh.
Aaron Mooy is the sitting midfielder and the two ahead of him in the middle of the park are David Turnbull and the captain Callum McGregor.
The front three are Liel Abada on the right, Daizen Maeda on the left and Giorgos Giakoumakis leading the line.
Joining Bain on the bench are Starfelt, Kyogo, new Bhoy Sead Hakšabanović (who we hope to see at some point tonight), McCarthy, Jota, Hatatem Forrest and Juranovic.
Kick-off is at 7.45pm and the game is on Premier Sports or if you are outside of Britain or Ireland it’s also live on Celtic TV. BBC Radio Scotland has commentary.
